aggregate query returns SUM as strings instead of integers

I dont know if it is normal, or if there is something I am doing wrong, but the sums returned by my query below are in strings even if the datatype of nbrEleves field is integer. Why? The query is run against a postgres database.

Point.aggregate('nbrEleves', 'SUM', {plain: false, where: {codecs: codecs}, order: '"codeSecteur" ASC', group:["codeSecteur", "codeWork"], attributes:['codeSecteur', 'codeWork']})

@janmeier Thank you. I tried it like this but it did not work (my instance.update({bigint: value}) and my raw queries are still returning strings):

var pg = require('pg');
pg.defaults.parseInt8 = true;

var Sequelize = require('sequelize');
sequelize = new Sequelize ...

Any Ideas?
